The environmental advantages of green tourism are attracting the attention of a wider range of stakeholders. The behavior of travelers toward green tourism sustainability and its impact on the accomplishment of a green environment has not been well studied empirically, particularly in Petra. In this research, we use an expanded framework of the theory of planned behavior to explore the behavioral features of foreign visitors toward the sustainability of green tourism (TPB). Descriptive analysis of the explanatory survey was the method of choice for the research project at hand. A large number of respondents were tourists. Office administrators are responsible for the formulation of a company's corporate strategy. 400 tourists took part in our survey for this research. According to our results, travelers' views toward green tourism were highly influenced by their opinions of the sustainability of green tourism and their environmental concerns. In addition, our findings show that visitors' intentions to engage in the sustainability of green tourism are negatively influenced by subjective norms, whereas tourists' attitudes are positively influenced by these norms. Both environmental concerns and the desire of visitors to engage in green tourism have a substantial influence on ecologically responsible tourism behavior, according to our findings.

Introduction: There is a large gap in the studies and literature dealing with the concept of denotations and connotations in Islamic architecture, whether in terms of a purely geometric or artistic and aesthetic aspect. However, studies addressing these works from the ideological point of view and inferring values are scarce. This gap is a direct result of the problematic method of reading the Islamic artistic plane and its visual reading tools. Purpose of the study: We aimed is to reduce the gap between many European and Muslim researchers in understanding the symbolic connotations of various elements and the aesthetics of abstract vision in the apparent form focusing on the “spiritual component”, and relate to the conscience of the Muslim and his mind without the need for stereotypical visual representation. Methodology: By adopting semiotics as a tool for modern criticism in reading and implicit analysis of the Islamic architectural text, we linked it with the fixed ideological component present in every place and at any time — the spiritual content. Approach: In the course of the study, we interpreted analytical and implicit reading of some Islamic architectural elements and their symbolic connotations. Results: We discuss three design trends that recently appeared in the Islamic world: the direct copying of traditional elements, the contemporary trend, and distinguishing and innovating new design elements based on traditional symbolic connotations. Novelty: Contemporary buildings have lost their identity and value and have turned into soulless creatures. Therefore, it is necessary to highlight the need for returning to cultural and architectural artistic heritage and benefiting from it in finding new and contemporary design solutions using modern digital technical means.

The main objective of the research is to justify the large discrepancy in the occupancy rate among the five-star business hotels in Amman. The study was based on analysing two aspects, namely the service quality and the architectural characteristic as basic determinants for a single category. Descriptive statistics and one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used using SPSS to Analyse the impact of service quality on hotel occupancy rates. The analysis of variance for the 18 hotels showed that there is not any significant difference in service quality among five stars hotels in Amman. Three hotel buildings representing the 18 hotels were selected to analyse the impact of architectural characteristics on hotel occupancy rates, interviews and surveys were conducted with the managers and staff, to collect data about the hotel's architectural characteristic  Data was distributed and divided into four dimensions to facilitate the process of architectural analysis, then projected through architectural drawings for comparisons between them; they are narrative design, zoning and privacy in guest rooms, functional hotel components and the architectural composition planning, which has been proven in this research to have a significant impact on occupancy rate, customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Introduction: Amman’s growth expansion was shaped by its topography (valleys and hills), which generated a special character and patterns of the urban form. The city was built on seven hills, which are connected by steep stairs that serve as pathways to the downtown core. The rapid urbanization caused by uncontrolled population growth, as well as random and unplanned formations that were far from following any kind of aesthetic, resulted in the expansion of the center towards the surrounding seven hills. The continuous intersection of these hills caused their boundaries to blur and melt. As a result of the intense transformation, which is causing the hills’ appearance to become more uniform, their continuing overlap may completely destroy the unique character and imageability of downtown Amman. Methods: This research made use of topographical context analysis and the Geographical Information System (GIS) as well as its 3D modeling function to identify the optimal visibility and viewing angle when looking from the valley towards the hills and between the hills. Results and discussion: We identified the main vistas, i.e., highly significant views, which could subsequently be adopted as the locations for proposing landmark scenarios via 3D model GIS analysis. The projection process helped determine the significant views from the valley towards the hills and between the hills. Overall, three scenarios were proposed for the landmarks, out of which, the best one was chosen. It corresponds to the topographical analysis and the community needs, depends upon the local context and urban fabric, and is optimal for decision-making.

Aim: The study aims to investigate and find the importance of religious tourism for the development of sustainable tourism: the case of the baptism site in Jordan. Materials and Methods: We used the SPSS version 20 to analyze 19 items of the Likert scale for the outcome in factor analysis. Before conducting the axial variable analysis, the suitability of the data for factor analysis was evaluated. Results and discussions: traditional industries have been phased out and replaced by tourism activities at the Baptism Site, which have a high tourist potential, resulting in increased economic growth in these areas. Conclusions: On the eastern bank of the Jordan River separating Jordan and Palestine, at the Baptism site, a world archaeological and heritage site, sustainable tourism has become a tool on which many foreign tourism institutions are focused. The result shows that environmental impacts were positively associated with sustainability issues.
